What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 122?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 122?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 120

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 120 multiply to 240 and add up to 122:

2 × 120 = 240
2 + 120 = 122

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 122x + 240 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x + 2 ) (x + 120)

To summarize, since 2 and 120 multiply to 240 and add up 122, you know that the following is true:

x² + 122x + 240 = (x + 2 ) (x + 120)
